FAWA vs. EWT like WCW/ECW vs. WWF back in the day, I just thought of that then. Could be cool.

I miss EWT. I miss the "jobber squashes" against real people, because it allowed me to write a character through their actions in the ring, and I miss my big, long-winded tirades about whatever my feud was that month.
I also miss being a main eventer.
*wipes away tear while signing a kid's 8x10 at some random high school gym indy show*
I would totally be up for a revival.

I'd rather have us come up with custom jobbers that anyone can use. I actually had a few ideas for such characters.

The thing I liked about using real people was being able to play off my characters' personalities against already established people. But, it's not a deal breaker for me or anything. I'd be perfectly happy with custom jobbers.

If EWT is revived and could use Jobbers, I could lend the FAWA Jobbers. After all, it's not like they're under contract. In fact, one thing that could be interesting about two e-feds that use original characters is the possibility of character exchanges. A member of FAWA could bring their character to EWT for fresh feuds and vice versa. It'd just like a WWF-WCW exchange. Furthermore, I'd imagine that certain characters in one fed might get over differently in the other, depending on how many members they have in common.

Just a thought, but if the mods did at least allow threads to become sticky, what threads would people like to be stickied? I think, as a rule of thumb, that anything which is ongoing and can have new people jump on board at any time would be good candidates. That means a revived EWT main thread, the FAWA main thread, the WWE: FAN Edition threads, the TNA: FAN Edition threads, and the FAN Mafia Hosting thread. That's five stickied threads of course, and there could be more.

If we're talking EWT revival, I want Curly Long and Mr. Big back. Ditto Ultimo Chocula.
And the Nyrds. And Oceanic. Maelstrom of course. Spaz and HBH would be fun as well. HMark has to be in on this.
Gah, now I'm nostalgic and such. Doesn't help that EWT was my first ever e-fed. Fond memories.

EWT - Extreme Wrestlecrap Threaderation - The original E-fed of the board. Currently it is in the archives section. But it had it's own forum section and was popular during it's time. Here it is - officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ewtOriginally it was a based off threads in the previous board before we switched to Proboards. The nBo (New Board Order) and EWT posted a lot of banter which led to some fun threads this then somehow morphed into the EWT which Mod Toomiguci was in charge of ... this led to a more typical E-Fedding with ppvs, matches, title changes and hilarious over the top imaginitve wrestling angles and ideas. It lasted until 2008/09ish before quietly & abruptly fading away for reasons I'm not entirely sure why. A fair few EWT-alumni are still around in the games section. EWT had a match card each week like this: Maelstrom vs Hulk Hogan Joe Ragnal vs Bobby Lashley Nyrds vs Demolition Each poster got a match that they could do what they like with, interlaced with promo's and segments. EWT posters were encouraged to form there own feuds and ideas which could then build to a PPV match, title matches were decided by Toomi and results were left up to the posters to decide themselves instead of voting. Chaotic fun. I am totally on board with the idea of an EWT relaunch, but ONLY if it is structurally-identical to the old EWT. Our ability to determine our own matches, write long matches and promos and create our characters as we saw fit was precisely what made it a fun fed to be involved in and kept it unique. I for one would be fine with the workload. It's a writing-intensive thing but honestly, writing a full-length match doesn't take too terribly long.

I'd rather have us come up with custom jobbers that anyone can use. I actually had a few ideas for such characters. Funny you mention that. On one of the old successor boards to EWT we had a TON of jobbers that we made up, as EWT-vets. Maybe if the new EWT started up, we could import them over, as well as new ones? Having a large breadth of jobbers would help establish some "territoriality" to the fed, as in a national-style promotion, some of these guys are just plain youngsters from the indies, or some are people trying to make the jump, so to speak.

wouldn't that just turn it into fawa kinda defeats the purpose of bringing it back then No, because the two feds have different philosophies. FAWA is vote based and structured, whereas EWT was much more freelance and the participants themselves determined the results. Whereas, WWE and TNA combine the two philosophies with votes determining the winners and HINT being called if the match is meant to go a certain way.
